#1 Sinha did not say why the test was conducted in Rajasthans Thar desert and not at Indias National Missile Testing Range in the eastern state of Orissa

Because it is being conducted by the IAF and their firepower range is at Pokhran.

They bomb the hell out of the desert there. One of the ranges located there is used for nuclear testing.

This photo is from a bomb run (the target can be seen at center) and is often incorrectly attributed to the 1998 nuclear tests (which were underground).
